Abstract
An upper tool support (4) for a stamping machine or the like has at least two stamping tools (5) adjacently located. Each stamping tool (5) preferably includes a punch (7), a punch support (8) and a retaining nut (9) connecting the punch (7) with the punch support (8). The upper tool support (4) is provided with a support body (10), a receiving plate (11) with tool guides (12) for each stamping tool (5) disposed next to each other in the receiving plate (11), a locking cap (14). The locking cap (14) is connected to the support body (10) to be pivotable around a pivot axle (13), to be thus removable in a plane perpendicular to the direction of stamping. The upper ends of the stamping tools (5) are movably guided in the direction of stamping and limited in one direction by support flanges (15). The guidance of the stamping tools (5) is not influenced by the fastening of the locking cap (14) on the support body (10), because the locking cap (14) carries the receiving plate (11). The tool guides (12) are annularly closed in the plane perpendicular to the direction of stamping. The stamping tools (5) can be inserted into the tool guides (10) in the direction of stamping, that is, can be…
